Christmas Vacation is one of our favorite Christmas movies, it’s one of the first we watch each year. I’ve always loved the scene with Clark and Eddie talking over eggnog with the moose mugs.

This month’s Food ‘n Flix Club movie is Love Actually hosted by Eliot’s Eats. I made Chocolate Sandwich Cookies. The Prime Minister, played by Hugh Grant, wants a chocolate tea biscuit, not the boring plain ones.

One of my son’s favorite holiday candies is Peppermint Bark. We’ve tried a number of versions of peppermint bark over the years and I’ve discovered his favorite combination is when the candy is half peppermint vanilla candy with candy canes and half chocolate.
